If council chooses the option of a council run water board, what is to stop
a repeat of the FCW situation where council hived of money for other things.
Allowing the water and sewerage systems to decay?

If council takes water & sewerage back under it’s wing, how will they address
the wage differntial between the two water boards? How will other council staff
in similar jobs or clssifications view one group getting paid more than them?

What impact will the increased debt (our debt + WBW’s), have on council?

Without the answer to these and many other questions, how can we
(ratepayers), really comment?
